Add a custom talking point
This section walks through how to add a custom talking point to one or more 1-on-1 agendas.
- Click on 1-on-1s in 15Five's main, left-hand navigation.
- You're now on the 'My 1-on-1s' list, which contains a list of everyone you've ever held a 1-on-1 with (unless you removed that person from your list). From here, click Add talking points in the top, right-hand corner of the page.
If the person you want to add a talking point with doesn't appear on your 'My 1-on-1s' list, create a 1-on-1 with them. - Type your talking point and select the name(s) of the person or people you want to add the talking point with. Then, click Add talking points.
- Your current 1-on-1 with the person(s) will now show the talking points you added.
Add a talking point from the talking point bank

If the person you want to add a talking point with doesn't appear on your 'My 1-on-1s' list, create a 1-on-1 with them. - On the right-hand side of your screen, you'll see a box that says "1-on-1 Tips". Click the Browse talking points button in that box to open the question bank.
